Fig. 4: Conductivity studies of OMCs.

a, b Electronic conductivity of OMCs arranged according to the electron-donating ability of organic ligands and electronegativity of metal ions, respectively; c Band gap dependent conductivity of OMCs (Error bar, mean±s.d.); d Optical photograph of 25 nm thick Cu(SPh-OH) inbetween Cr/Au electrodes and its temperature-dependent I–V curves; e Variable temperature conductive measurements of Cu(SPh-OH) in d; σ-T−1 plot between 110 and 440 K (left); the solid line is the fitting curve based on double activation energies equation; σ-T−1/4 between 40 and 100 K (right); the solid line is the fitting curve based on Mott variable-range hopping model.
